- Subject: SOCKS proxy server with finger/ftp/telnet/xgopher clients
-
-
- I have been working on David Koblas's SOCKS package, mainly for
- our own use. It has now reached a state that others may be interested
- in using as well. So, I am now making it available for anonymous
- ftp. It is on host ftp.inoc.dl.nec.com (143.101.112.3) in directory
- pub/security, the file name is socks.cstc.930629.tar.Z. Remember
- to download it in binary mode.
-
- Here are the first two paragraphs in the README.1st file:
-
- This is SOCKS, a package conisisting of a proxy server (sockd)
- and client programs corresponding to finger, whois, ftp, telnet,
- and xgopher, as well as a library module for adapting other
- applications into new client programs.
-
- The original was written by David Koblas (koblas@netcom.com).
- I adapted the server code (sockd) to make it run on SunOS4.1.x,
- added access control accroding to user-ids, corrected the
- mistakes for using operator 'lt' or 'gt' with port number,
- and added rtelnet and rxgopher clients. I also modified the
- Makefiles and supplied man pages that, I hope, will be helpful
- even to people who don't read the code. The rxgopher client is
- based on xgopher ver. 1.2 by Allan Tuchman, University of
- Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, a-tuchman@uiuc.edu.
-
- Please note that the package has only been tested on SunOS 4.1.x.
- I have no way for testing it with other systems, so I won't be able to
- give you much help on system-dependent problems. But let me know
- if you run into any problems getting it, building it, or running it
- anyway.
-
- Good luck and enjoy it.
